Wire gates for bottom biner for easy clipping (wire makes a nice flat spot that your finger won't roll off). This is correct. End of discussion; and it will be until the notchless wiregate is invented.
DMM Shield and WC Heliums. I don't use them for sport draws, but all my trad racking biners are notchless wiregates.
Edited to add:
My draws do have notchless solid gates on the hanger side, but standard wires on the rope side. Easier to remove from the gear loop, easier for the 2nd to remove from the hanger. Rope side is standard wiregates, haven't felt the need to upgrade them to notchless.
